Advent blog-a-long #6

Ok crafty bloggers, I need your help with this one. We have these gorgeous wreaths at work that have these little polystyrene apples and berries on them. They are just beautiful. When I was at work yesterday I was tidying up and found one of the little apples had fallen off a wreath (or possibly some garland, not sure) and my boss said to just throw it in the bin. What! It's too cute, I had to keep it. My boss thought I was nuts, why would I want it. I immediately stuck it on my head and she cracked up. Now, here is where I need some help. Our work Christmas do is on Saturday night and I want to fashion this little apple into a head piece of some sort to either prove how awesome I am, or how much of a dick I really am. Either way is fine with me.

So, hit me, what do I do with this apple? Add some feathers maybe?? I really am serious, please help!

It may be an apple, but my first thought when I saw it was cherry, which made me think of some sort of christmas pavlova hat:) totally silly I know but can't you just see the meringue as the hat/headpiece and then all the glittery fruit on top? good luck! Cyndy

If it were bigger you could do something like this: http://trishatara.blogspot.com/2011/03/adr-anna-dello-russo.html (and be totally high fashion....) or do a minature vintage pancake hat like this: http://en.dawanda.com/product/11744338-Headpiece-Vintage-apple (and be totally retro...), or maybe something Cinderella inspired....? I am sure that you will come up with something.....

Take a hairband, the apple, a glue gun and some wire. Wind the wire round a pencil to form a spring. Glue the apple on the spring (maybe add a leaf or two) and glue the spring on to the hairband. Voila!!
